I am so excited! I have to borrow a measuring tape but i have a good size pen. I am workon pics from my darn phone as well
My gold tipped steel doe (3/4 nz, 1/4 fg) will be going in it in a couple weeks along with her litter. It is her first litter and i am gonna wait until they are 4wks at least before i move them. The dad of the litter is a florida white so the litter is 1/2 fw, 3/8 nz, 1/8 fg. She had ten and only the wee runt died.
I wont be keeping a buck in the colony because i like to know if the does are bred and due dates etc. And this way i can always breed her to any buck i may have. She is doing very well with this litter and i think if she keeps up her condition i will be breeding her back at about 5wks post kindling to my new silver fox black buck who is full pedigree So far though momma looks just as good now as she did before i bred her
Depending on how this litter grows out i am tempted to hold back a doe in colony and see how that goes as well. And she would probably get bred to the SF when she was old enough for some really mutt meat kits hahaha they would be 1/2 sf, 1/4 fw, 3/16 nz, 1/16 fg xD

I decided that if momma stays in good condition i will breed her back at four wks post kindle. Probably will box up the nest and have them ready to move, pop momma in with the buck and HOPE she will cooperate, then pop her into the new pen and the litter into the new nest.
Then momma can wean them as she wishes. I will probably pop out the stragglers of the litter for eating at about 7wks. Leave the bigger ones in to grow more and watch for possible keeper biggest doe. And hopefully the litter will stay out of the nest momma makes for her new litter! Honestly my big worry right now is the older kits mashing the new litter.
